It did indeed need to be reset and I've done so. If it fails any more, please let me know and we'll make some arrangements for me to get my hands on the file. I'll see what I can do to get it imported manually. :)

Unfortunately, it failed again so I'll go ahead and ask Typepad for a new export as you suggested. In the meantime, if the importer needs to be reset again, I'd love help with that. Thanks so much!

I'm sorry that our importer is misbehaving! I have removed that errored import and reset the importer for you. You can go ahead and give it another try.

If it errors again, I'm going to ask you to try and get a fresh export from Typepad just in case something went awry in their export process (just in case you want to grab a new one in advance or something!).

That's not a problem! I have killed that previous import and you should now be able to give it another go.

Let me know if you run in to any troubles!

Thu, 30 Oct 2014 01:23:04 +0000michaelbmellor2112049@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/I imported the wrong blog, then deleted all of the contents. Now I want to import again, but when I try it says, "We're processing your import now and will send you an email when it's all done. If you don't hear from us within 24 hours, please contact support, and we'll get everything fixed." It will not let me do any importing.

The way the images work (with the read more link) is a function of the Intergalactic theme you're using. If you'd like, though, you can have one image featured in the background of each post on your site's front page, like in the Intergalactic demo.

To do that, you'll just need to add a featured image to each post. That image will be automatically added to the front page, and then visitors can click through to read the full post and see the images that are part of the post content.

Just let me know if you have questions about that. :)

Hi Jason-

We provided you with two exports - one file includes your blog's posts and comments and the other file contains all uploaded files. Were you able to open both files?

I checked, and the files you imported were a movie file (ASF file format) and an image (PNG file format). The export file you get from Typepad should be the full contents of your Typepad blog, not individual media files.

Once you import it into WordPress, you should get a message saying the import was successful.

The export format should be Movable Type Import Format.
